Hosta 'Valley's Midnight Joker'

 

Registered by Jeroen Linneman of the Netherlands in 2022, this upright growin cultivar is a hybrid of (H. 'Valley's Royal Affair' × H. 'Valley's Big Freeze') × H. 'Glacier Cascade'. (**For clarity sake, the hostas in Red are the background of the unnamed pod parent and the one in Green is the pollen parent of this cultivar.)

It is a very large size hosta about 28 inches high by 32 inches wide with "soft" blue-green foliage. The broadly ovate leaves are described as "lightly convex fountain-shaped leaves with white backs". Near white flowers bloom from mid-July into August on scapes 32 to 36 inches tall followed by viable seeds.

The registration materials state: "Large soft blue hanging leaves with narrowly ruffled margins and white backs...Blue leaves turn green over time."
